Data & corporate finance, between Europe and China. Humanities first, data second.
I studied History before I studied finance, and it shows: I like data that tells a story someone can act on.
I'm doing an MSc in Data & Corporate Finance at Audencia and I help RootClean AI, an early-stage AI startup, open its European market. Before that, China: sales and sourcing for an electronics trader in Shenzhen, from the Canton Fair to supplier negotiations; a semester of finance at Shenzhen University; AI market intelligence in Nanjing; and cost control inside a Dongguan factory, reporting to the CFO.

Built in vanilla JavaScript, written in French. This is where my history side meets code.
Edo Japan, the Genroku era above all: Osaka merchants, the floating world and the novels of Ihara Saikaku. Song and Ming China: paper money, maritime trade, porcelain and the long fall of the Ming. Medieval travellers: Marco Polo, William of Rubruck, John of Plano Carpini, John of Montecorvino, Ibn Battuta.
Questions still open: how busy were the great ports of the 13th century? Ship counts at Calicut and Guangzhou, from travellers' accounts and port records.

Fluent in Spanish, and yet I've probably spent more hours with Cicero. He never ordered tapas.
